Download tvOS 9.2.2 For Fourth-Generation Apple TV – Here Are All The Changes

Today, Apple has released a new update for the fourth-generation Apple TV – tvOS 9.2.2. The new and updated operating system is designed to work only on the fourth-generation Apple TV. Silmilar to watchOS, the update comes two months after the release of tvOS 9.2.1 and approximately four months after the launch of tvOS 9.2. tvOS 9.2 can be thought of as a major upgrade as it brought support for dictation, Bluetooth keyboard and more. Let’s see what has Apple included in tvOS 9.2.2 for Apple TV users.

tvOS 9.2.1 was a minor upgrade as it brought quite a handful of bug fixes to the table, but no outward-facing features. Unfortunately, tvOS 9.2.2 also does not bring in any major forward-facing features other than bug fixes and under the hood performance improvements. Moreover, no unusual features were discovered in the previous beta release as well. So if you’re looking forward to the aforementioned addition of bug fixes and performance enhancements, you can now download the upgrade.

The new tvOS 9.2.2 update can be installed on the fourth-generation Apple TV via over the air through the Settings app. Simply launch the Settings app and then head to System and then tap on Software Update. However, if you have automatic software update turned on, tvOS 9.2.2 will be downloaded automatically.

Apple is in the works to release its upcoming tvOS 10 as well. The upgrade will be released later this fall. The forthcoming update will be a major one considering the changes that will be part of the upgrade. For instance, tvOS 10 is deemed to bring new and improved Siri capabilities, controller required games as well as single sign-on cable authentication. These are just a few mere changes that will be part of the tvOS 10 upgrade. In tvOS 10 beta, there are quite a handful of changes discovered as well.

tvOS 10 could be the reason why Apple did not include any major front-facing changes in the tvOS 9.2.2 release. Most probably, Apple wanted to introduce any major changes in the next update. Nonetheless, bug fixes and performanace improvements will definitely step up your current tvOS software version in terms of stability. You might experience reduction in lags and improved transitions.
